View Full Version : Looking for non-spam, free, email list server.

I have set up an email prayer list for my church. I made a yahoo account, and had hoped to recieve and send along prayer requests on the list.

I have about peoples emails, and have had trouble with yahoo. They make me limit the number of addresses to 10 at a time, so for every request I recieve I have to make up 5 copies of the emails. As if this were not bad enough, I can only send then out 2 per hour. I also ran into an error message yesterday saying I had exceeded to daily allowance of email.

I contacted yahoo to see if a pay account would releive this problem, they said it would not.

I am looking for non-spam, free, email list server. I can find plenty of them via google, but am cautious since some of the ones advertised are just ways to harvest valid email addresses.

Anyone have a good email listserver they can recommend? (I will pay for the service if necessary)

Thanks

What you actually need is a web driven mailing list like PHPList and a service provider that has more generous limits (I never knew Yahoo's limits were so low). We can do both (http://webnet77.com/?details). You could have a domain as well to do it from which helps with feedback.

BDH,

I looked around your site and was not able to find anything that looked like what I want. I contacted your site and recieved a reply from Brent who says that he can not help me.

Does anyone know of a simple email webserver I can look at?

Thanks,

You menioned the number of members in your email. That's very low. Who is your ISP? Surely thay can cater for that as it's tiny. You should aviod yahoo anyway because they do a thing galle greylisting which is a huge blunder and actually causes more spam. You can read this (http://articles.marco.org/238) for more,

Thanks for your reply.

The info you posted about greylisting is interesting, and new to me. Thanks,

I got a friend of mine to set me up with some of his server space to use a mailserver utility, and it seems to be working well :pray:

I have wireless broadband through ATT, since I am on the road a lot. They do not provide email as part of their access package.

This should be a good option, thanks for your help.
